DINAN + PERFORMANCE ENGINE SOFTWARE - MINI B46/B48 ENGINE

The 3rd Generation MINI carries on the tradition of its predecessors and offers its owners an enjoyable driving experience via the virtue of being compact and nimble. However, stock levels of power are pedestrian for those enamored with maximum performance. This is especially true when compared to its BMW siblings that Dinan has tweaked and improved for decades. With the B46/B48 powerplant shared between both marques it begs the question - what would the MINI platform be like with an extra 50HP or even 75HP to go along with its already gratifying handling characteristics?

Extraordinary is the answer the Dinan R&D team has discovered. The B46 on 91 octane and absolutely no other modifications but the Dinan+ tune clocks in with raucous gains of 70 WHP and 89 TRQ. That is nearly 1/2 another MINI's worth of power packed into that diminutive frame. Not just any power either, factory matching warranted power that gives you piece of mind. What does this mean for you? Fun. Lots of it. Agility and power, together at last.

While increases in power at this scale typically come at a cost to the engine's durability, this is typically due to improper calibrations that are simply after one goal regardless of engine health - maximum power. Dinan's calibrations are safe and reliable without sacrificing long-term reliability or performance. Dinan performance engine software is so much more than just turning up the turbo boost after all. It is a fully re-tuned engine management program that maximizes power while keeping all the MINI factory safeguards in place. In most cases Dinan software engineers also implement their own additional safety precautions in order to guarantee flawless performance that may not have been needed with factory power levels/programming. Protecting your MINI, while giving the most performance, is the definition of "Performance Without Sacrifice". To do just that, drivetrain and engine components are analyzed for strength, and then the calibration is tested on the dyno and in the real world for durability and drivability. This process has been a cornerstone of Dinan software development for decades and a major reason why Dinan performance tunes are often labelled as being the smoothest, factory-like solution in the marketplace.
